Was the Great Depression really that bad?


Stephen takes all of his money out of the stock market and buys...

Big relief today. The stock market is up 270. My 401(k) is now only practically worthless. Folks, this is great, because yesterday the Dow fell almost 700 ... dows. Money points? Stockos? 700 stockos. Now personally, I blame the geniuses at the National Bureau of Economic Research, who thought it would be a good idea to announce yesterday that we are now in a recession. Terrible move. Everyone knows you keep bad news to yourself, holding it deep inside, until eventually it kills you.

There is more good news, folks. Today the Dow made a comeback, gaining 936 points! Henry Paulson's plan to change his plan to whatever the Europeans are planning is working. That is such a big one-day jump. I wouldn't be surprised if John McCain resumed his campaign.

I think this unprecedented financial crisis is great news for George Bush. Now this will be the president's lasting legacy! It will cover up all the things that were going to be his legacy! I mean, just think of Iraq, torture, wiretapping, Katrina as little paint drips on the floor of his presidency. This financial disaster is like painting the whole floor! Now I don't see any mistakes. It really freshens the place up. Now, sure people in New Orleans' ninth word still don't have houses. But soon neither will anyone.
We are in an economic tail spin. It's a nightmare on Wall Street, and a once in a century financial crisis. Of course, the New York Times called the crisis 'a wolf howling at the door.' Wrong! No one's got money for doors anymore! It's a wolf howling at our cardboard flaps.

In Washington, in response to President Obama's stimulus package, Rush Limbaugh proposed his own stimulus package. That's true. You see, that's what this country needs. What we need is a stimulus package proposed by a fat DJ. That's what's going to set the country back on track.

Actually, Rush Limbaugh's stimulus package is just a package containing a big bottle of stimulants.

The astronauts were very busy up in the space station today, installing a machine that converts their urine into drinking water. I'm thinking, astronauts drinking their urine? America’s astronauts. Is the economy that bad? Remind me to never go to Buzz Aldrin's house for drinks again.

Despite enormous fluctuations in the Dow Jones average this week, billionaire investor Warren Buffett announced Friday that he will continue to invest in the stock market during the current financial crisis. So remember, everyone, this is no time to panic, as long as you're the richest man on earth.

Critics of the bailout plan say it will save Wall Street, while it will do virtually nothing to help out Main Street. And, as always, you're on your own, Martin Luther King Boulevard!

Hey, guess what? Turns out the free market? Not so free. Wall Street was hit hard Monday when Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, Merrill Lynch was sold to Bank of America, and insurance giant AIG neared a collapse of its own. Basically, if your commercials air during golf tournaments, you're done.

Seth Meyers on the Economy

After [the meeting of all 5 living Presidents] there was a fight over who would pay the lunch bill, but eventually they all agreed to leave it up to future generations.

The current National Debt is estimates at over $10 trillion which breaks down to about $30,000 for every man, woman, and child in the country. If you laid that much money, ebd to end, in one dollar bills, most of it would be stolen by Bernie Madoff.

Barack Obama announced Wednesday that New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is his choice for secretary of commerce, which should be an easy job, now that there isn't any.

The head of Regal Entertainment says as the recession gets worse, more people are coming to the movies. Because nothing helps you forget your troubles like a $5 Sprite.
As stocks dropped sharply on Monday, President Bush urged patience with the government's new $700 billion plan, saying, 'It's going to take a while.' Of the course the good news is, he's never been right.

Good news, everybody. That house you couldn't pay for? You're paying for it. The House on Friday passed the $700 billion Wall Street bailout package. President Bush then signed the bill into law after consulting with his economic advisers, M.C. Hammer, Ed McMahon and Willie Nelson.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said that the proposed bailout plan will cost taxpayers $700 billion. To give you an idea how much money that is, I can't give you an idea of how much money that is.

Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Lawrence Ellison topped the Forbes list of the top ten richest people in the U.S., having a combined wealth, as of Friday, of nearly $8,000.
